Today, you won’t have a lack of options when it comes to
electrical work in Columbus. The incandescent light bulb is an old standby, so electricians
have been working with them for many years. Take a look at this video
clip for a quick overview of the history of the incandescent light bulb.

When you think of a light bulb, there’s a good chance you picture
an incandescent light bulb. The incandescent light bulb was introduced
more than a century ago, but the bulbs we know today have been quite similar
since about 1910. This type of light source is convenient because the
bulbs are on the more affordable side, and they do a nice job in terms
of color rendering. However, incandescent light bulbs are not quite as
efficient as some of the alternatives that have been introduced in more
recent years.
